OIL BURNER.

.Appliication fil erl October 1-5, 1925. Serial Nb. 62674...

This invention relates to aburner for oil; .the general object ofthe,invention being to provide a. device which can be used. in.

- stoves, furnaces'and the like; by being placed structed that is "not.likely to get Tout of f spaced apartto receive a wick with means on thegratesthereof' or which can beus'ed separately andwhich can bemanufacturedto sell at low cost and which jis so conorder. c.Another'object ofthe inventlon is to provide a pair of circularmembers'wh ch' are for introducing the fuelcto a space formed a at? thecenter of the wick' between the two members, with means for directingthe flames against the upper memben so that the same will be highlyheated and thus the v ;fuel-willbe vaporized asitpasses into thedrawings wherein like characters denote,

space between the two members.

This invention also consists in certain.

other features of construction and in the combination andarrangementofthe several parts, to be hereinafter fully described,illustrated inwthe accompanying 'drawmgs and specifically pointed out inthe appended claims, 1 c. Q J

In describing myinv'ention in detail, reference will be had to 'theaccompanying like or corresponding parts throughoutthe 1 several views,and in which Figure 1 is a sectional view through" a portion of a stove,showing the device in use.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the'device. v c

Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of the uppermember.

vIn these views, 1 indicatesa conical sup port and 2 indicates abowl-shapedmember which is seatedon' the! upper end of th support, thisbowl-shaped member being formed with theouter flange 3 and 'theinnerflange 4 which form an annular trough 5. They flange A slopes inwardly.a'nd a spider .6 is connected to or formed with the upper end of saidflange.

A S ply P p 7 passes through the center of the spider and aconcavo-convex disk .8 has a hole in its center to receive thethreadedend of said off of the device;

pipe. Tbilis disk has Qthereom the I lower] enlargedportions ofwhichrest upon the flange tiso that the disk is supported by fthe flange, andsaid flange extends slightly into the concavity of the disk. Asaucershaped wick 1O ,isplacedover the member 8, said wickhavingacentral hole 11 therein anda member 12 similar-to member 8" is placedon the wick. The two members and the wickfihave vertical flanges '13attheir edges which I extend -sli'ghtly" within the trough 5.; Themember 12 is provided with a staple-likehandle l l. The opening 11in thewick forms a recess betweenthe members8 and 12to receive the oilpassingfrom the pipe {and this oil. will, saturate the wick, whichbreaks it up into fine-particles;

and; these particles are quickly vaporized" when the members 8 and 12become heated by cigniting the oil collecting in thetrough I '5. Theairwillpass upwardly through the member 1 and, flowing into thetrough-over j the flange will direct the flames against the member 12 soasto highly heat it and thus vaporize the .oil. "Afterthe burner isinitially started, from oil in the trough 5, it will, .of course,be'understood that it will continue to operate through the oil flowinginto the same'from tank 15 by means of p1pe'7, the oil being vaporizedas it reaches the members Bland 12, and the'vapors are ignited as theyescape from between the -members. "The wick placed between the members 8and 12 will divide the oil, so.that

it willbe quickly vaporized andthe vapor passinginto the trough frombetweenthe V members 8 and 12 willburn with a very hotblue-white flame.The burner will be free from carbonizatio'n. l

Iprovide a drain pipe 16- whichis con-v nectedwith the trough,'so-as totake .outany surplus oil thatmay'gat herin the trough. The staple 14 isused'to lift the member 12 so that the parts can be a A 1 When thedevice is used in a stove: or

clean'ed.

furnace, as shown in Figure 1, a packing 17 lofearth'or thelikeis-placed around the. member 1, so as to cause all the through saidmember.

tion that the advantages and novel features .of'my invention will bereadily apparent. r

I desire it to be understood that Imay make changes in the constructionand in the air to pass It is thought from'the foregoingdescripcombination and arrangement of the several parts, provided thatsuch changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A burner 01 the class described, comprising a bowlmember having a central opening therein and an annular troughsurrounding the opening, a pair of concavoconvex members seated upon thebowl, with the lower member extending over the opening and the edges ofthe members extendinto the trough, a wick of the same shape'as themembers with an opeing in bowl and through which the air passes to theopening in the bowh 2. In an oil burner, the combination with a bowlmember provided with a central opening and an annular troughconcen tricwith the opening, the wall of the opening having a radially extendingspider, of an,

oil supply pipe threaded through thespider centrally of the opening, anoil teed canopy with radial webs on the under surface ofof the oilsupply pipe, saidcanopy compr1sing upper and lower concavo-convexplates, the under face of the upper plate having a depression concentricwith the center of the supply pipe, a wick spread over substantially theentire surface of the convex face of the lower plate, excepting acentral portion thereof, such portion corresponding with the diameter ofthe depression, whereby the oil may enterthe depressionand be fedthrough capillary attraction through the medium of the wick to theentire marginal edge of the canopy, said marg'inaledge being downturnedand extending I substantially centrally into said trough, the oil beingfed acting to vaporize due to the generation or" the heat in the troughand due to the air passing through'the opening, a drain pipe connectedwith the troughto carry ofi the surplus oil, and'means consisting of ashell tordiree ing the air. through the opening.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
